Tissot Resale Value Guides

2 guides to what used Tissot is worth — the price at each condition grade, which lines hold their value, and how to date or identify what you have. Tissot is the accessible end of genuine Swiss watchmaking, which gives it a broad and steady used market. The PRX has done more for its resale in recent years than anything else in the range.

Which Tissot pieces hold their value

The PRX, particularly the automatic version, which brought a new audience to the brand and is searched by name
Mechanical models generally, which sit well above the quartz versions of the same case
Watches with the box, papers and spare links, which matter more on Swiss watches than on fashion ones
The Le Locle and other long-running dress models, which have a settled market

And what pulls the price down

Quartz versions of models that also exist as automatics, since buyers who know the range hold out for the mechanical one
Scratched sapphire crystals, which cannot be polished out and mean a parts charge
Missing bracelet links, which are model-specific and needed to size the watch
Overdue services on the mechanical models, which buyers factor in fully

Identifying and dating yours

These are the checks that decide which end of the range a piece sits in, and they are the facts a serious buyer will ask for:

The reference is engraved on the caseback — photograph it, because quartz and automatic versions of the same watch look nearly identical
Say clearly whether the movement is automatic or quartz, as it is the largest single price factor
Count and photograph the spare links, since a watch that cannot be sized to the buyer is a problem

WishThrift does not authenticate or inspect anything. Condition and origin are described by the seller against five grades — what each one means — so photograph the markings above rather than asserting them.

Frequently asked questions

Is used Tissot worth buying?

It depends far more on the line than the label. Tissot is the accessible end of genuine Swiss watchmaking, which gives it a broad and steady used market. The PRX has done more for its resale in recent years than anything else in the range. Each guide below says which Tissot lines hold their value for that item and which have almost none, so you are comparing like for like rather than paying for the name alone.

How do I check a piece is genuine Tissot?

The reference is engraved on the caseback — photograph it, because quartz and automatic versions of the same watch look nearly identical. WishThrift does not authenticate, inspect or grade anything — condition and origin are described by the seller, so ask directly and expect an answer. A seller who has the item will send a photograph of the marking in minutes.
